These appointments bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, complementing that of the current Board members. “Tanya Cox has extensive experience in the Australian property market. Her senior managerial experience will add to and complement the Board.” “Linda Nicholls’ extensive business experience will be of value to Low Carbon Australia as it continues to expand its business partnerships. Her strong background in finance will benefit the organisation as it brings finance and energy efficiency together for Australian business,” Mr Dreyfus said. The appointment of Ms Cox and Ms Nicholls to the Board of Low Carbon Australia demonstrates the Government’s commitment to diversity and increased representation of women on boards in Australian business. “Low Carbon Australia will continue to partner with private business, the public sector and local communities to help realise energy savings, and demonstrate energy efficiency opportunities for retrofitting buildings,” Mr Dreyfus said.

Low Carbon Australia was established to work with business to understand and overcome the barriers that businesses face when seeking to improve energy efficiency and reduce their emissions, and to help business and consumers to identify goods and services which are carbon neutral.
